The black belt test is the "great equalizer". At TJJ you are expected to do the best you can, and then some.

OK, the rest of your post im not going to touch, seemed believable to em and all that. However, how can you say someone passing through a test too easily is their fault? It is the instructor's job to gauge the student, and award ranks accordingly. Id everyone passes as the original poster described that is not the fault of the students. All tests, not just the black belt test should weed out those who need to study more of the techniques of that level.

I have some problems with your sparring comments later on, but this was rediculous.
